CMV: East Coast sports fans are not "tougher" than West Coast sports fans.

My San Francisco 49ers are playing the Philadelphia Eagles today. The discourse is typical. 49ers fans are "soft west coast wine drinkers" while Eagles fans are "tough, real sports fans." This "wisdom" that "everybody knows" is bullshit.
*I'm sincere in this post but mean it in a light hearted way. I disapprove of all violence and want everyone to enjoy sports in a safe and friendly way. Just describing things that have happened.*
Reasons:
\- I grew up going to Candlestick Park. It was a shitty awful stadium inside the worst most crime filled part of San Francisco.
\- Let's not even get started on how buns the Oakland Coliseum was.
\- Several people have been legitimately injured and killed in violence between SF Giants Fans and Dodgers fans. AFAIK no one has been killed in east coast rivalries such as Red Sox / Yankees.
\- When Raiders were in Oakland, the NFL had to stop Niners / Raiders preseason games because too many people were getting shot and stabbed after games. I'm unaware of any similar situation on the east coast.
\- "Philadelphia fans threw batteries at Santa." Yeah...back in the 60s. You weren't even alive when that happened. We're talking about modern day boomer.
